Beirut, aka Zach Condon, has cancelled all his upcoming European and American tour dates after he was hospitalised in Paris recently, apparently due to 'extreme exhaustion.' Condon was subsequently discharged, but was advised by doctors to rest.
A statement released by Beirut's label said: "This was an extremely difficult decision to make and was only decided on after doing everything we possibly could to make it work out. This is Beirut's first-ever tour, and while the band played some of the greatest shows of their lives, the attendant stress of organizing and travelling with a full-blown, 12-person orkestar took its toll. Having put all of his energy into each and every performance, Zach was briefly hospitalized for extreme exhaustion."
